3.0 de 5 estrellasNot a completed series

The book kept me hooked but at some points it felt like it was a lot of filler, also some of the characters emotions and logic/actions were confusing. However, the books were very compelling. I gave 3 stars because I don't like how it seemed that the series was 6 books then there was a 7th now an 8th, the depective tactics have left me not interested in buying book 8, 9, 10........also the books seemed to be released in time frames of years. Wish it would have been released as a complete series. It would also be nice if the descriptions for these books stated that the series is not complete.

4.0 de 5 estrellasIn which some holes are filled in, and others are dug

A few of the character's developments were put on hold to explore some other aspects of the story, but questions get answered. Not complete without the background material, and the follow-on stories will be necessary to get answers about the cyborgs. Stay with this, it's shaping into a strange place.

5.0 de 5 estrellasbut I perservered and it picked up pretty quickly. Backworld introduces all the Backworld friends

This is more of a review of the series so far than this single book. I've been reading this series for about a month now. I stumbled across "Backworlds" and thought it sounded interesting. It started a bit slowly, but I perservered and it picked up pretty quickly. Backworld introduces all the Backworld friends, the subsequent books find them settled in their own place, looking after their own, and building up their new-found home. The locales are interesting, the idea of bioengineering humans to live on different worlds is cool, but the best part of the series is the circle of friends, and how they interact with and take care of each other. These books are really about family. After a slow start with the first one I'm devouring these books. I find myself wishing I could travel to Pardeep and meet all these folks, if they'd accept a well-meaning FoWo amongst them. I just finished this book, and have dowloaded the next two. I hope there will be more to come after that! Long live the Backworlds!!

This was such a great story, I especially liked how I can relate to the main character and how he would do anything to help his friends even Protect them from his family and how the bonds he has made with them seem to be the thing that gives them strength. This book gave light to quasar and who he was and how dactyl's past played into the storyline. I would recommend this series to anyone who wants a entertaining space story with a lot of twists and keeps you wanting to know what happens next , you should read this book.

I have completely enjoyed this series. The characters are people you can care about, they have great pathos and their trials are easy to relate to. This latest entry "Beyond the Edge" solves some mysteries and opens the door on some others. I look forward to the next book with great anticipation. As a High School Science teacher, Captain Talos' motto is one I want to encourage my students to follow.... Carry On!
